Course Overview

Course ID:

A building services Engineering technician provides assistance to engineers and other construction professionals in the development of cost effective technical and sustainable design solutions involving the production of three dimensional models, calculations, specifications, reports and drawings taking into account, where appropriate, pre-fabrication techniques.

Their work typically includes systems such as renewable technologies, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, drainage, lighting, power, controls and lifts. Buildings and infrastructure take on many forms from newly built facilities to the refurbishment of premises for every sector of industry. As design technicians they could be working under supervision in a design consultancy, a contractor or a manufacturing company.

Ideal for those with 12 months or more experience working in a Construction Engineering role or similar, this Level 3 apprenticeship programme is a great opportunity for apprentices that have already completed the Level 2-3 Engineering Operative or Technician apprenticeship programme or equivalent full-time course and would like to further enhance their knowledge and skills.

This programme is ideal for young people with work experience right through to mature apprentices wanting to retrain. Experience of Project Engineering or Project Management desirable but not essential.
